Entangled EPR spin pairs can be treated using the statistical ensemble interpretation of quantum mechanics. As such the singlet state results from an ensemble of spin pairs each with its own specific axis of quantization. This axis acts…
When an entangled state evolves under local unitaries, the entanglement in the state remains fixed. Here we show the dynamical phase acquired by an entangled state in such a scenario can always be understood as the sum of the dynamical…

The Lindblad master equation describes the evolution of a large variety of open quantum systems. An important property of some open quantum systems is the existence of decoherence-free subspaces. A quantum state from a decoherence-free…
The problem investigated in this paper is einselection, i. e. the selection of mutually exclusive quantum states with definite probabilities through decoherence. Its study is based on a theory of decoherence resulting from the projection…
In a spin-network basis state, nodes of the graph describe un-entangled quantum regions of space, quantum polyhedra. In this paper we show how entanglement between intertwiner degrees of freedom enforces gluing conditions for neighboring…

We theoretically investigate the dynamics of two spin qubits interacting with a magnetic medium. A systematic formal framework for this qubit-magnet hybrid system is developed in terms of the steady-state properties of the magnetic medium.…
The non-hermitian states that lead to separation of the four Bell states are examined. In the absence of interactions, a new quantum state of spin magnitude 1/(root(2) is predicted. Properties of these states show that an isolated spin is a…
The monitoring of the three independent components of the angular momentum (or spin) of a quantum system by its environment that does not isolate any preferred orientation is modelled in two different ways. One describes the dynamics by the…
We study two classes of open systems: discrete-time quantum walks (a type of Floquet-engineered discrete quantum map) and the Lindblad master equation (a general framework of dissipative quantum systems), focusing on the non-equilibrium…
We study the evolution of a system of two qubits, each of which interacts locally with a spin chain with nontrivial internal Hamiltonian. We present an exact solution to this problem and analyze the dependence of decoherence on the distance…
A maximally entangled state is a quantum state which has maximum von Neumann entropy for each bipartition. Through proposing a new method to classify quantum states by using concurrences of pure states of a region, one can apply Bell's…
